The United Nations conference in Rio de Janeiro June is an important opportunity to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development.
China is the world's largest energy consumer and CO2 emitter. Cities contribute 85% of total emissions in thus are considered as key areas for implementing policies designed climate change adaption emission mitigation. However, inventory construction Chinese cities has not been well researched, mainly owing to lack systematic statistics poor data quality. Focusing on this research gap, we developed a set methods constructing inventories based balance table. The newly constructed compiled...
The governance of climate change has traditionally been conceived as an issue international co-operation and considered through the lens regime analysis. Increasingly, scholars global have highlighted multiple parallel initiatives involving a range actors at different levels which this is being addressed. In paper, we argue that phenomenon warrants re-engagement with some conceptual cornerstones studies. We highlight challenges posed by increasing involvement non-nation-state (NNSAs) in...
Technological advancement in industrializing cities is critical for reducing CO 2 emissions while maintaining economic growth.
The Earth System Science Partnership, which unites all major global change research programmes, declared in 2001 an urgent need to develop "strategies for management". Yet what such strategies might be, how they could be developed, and effective, efficient equitable would remains unspecified. It is apparent that the institutions, organizations mechanisms by humans currently govern their relationship with natural environment biochemical systems are not only insufficient—they also poorly...
This review critically assesses a large and growing literature on multiactor environmental governance. The first section provides an historical conceptual background to the observed increase in such arrangements. second describes diversity of governance arrangements related actor constellations address issues, third offers some explanations for origins, form, effectiveness conclusion reflects key challenges advancing deepening research this area suggests fruitful avenues future work.

United Nations climate change conferences have attracted an increasing number and range of observer participants, often outnumbering national delegates. The interactions between the formal informal spaces governance at Conference Parties (COP) are explored by investigating why non-nation state actors (NNSAs) attend them measuring to what extent official UN Side Events provide relevant information for negotiations. Based on primary empirical research recent COPs, it is found that 60–75%...
In this article, we outline the multifaceted roles played by non‐state actors within United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and place wider landscape of global climate governance. doing so, look at both formation aftermath 2015 Paris Agreement. We argue that Agreement cements an architecture hybrid multilateralism enables constrains actor participation in flesh out constitutive features multilateralism, enumerate multiple positions may employ under these conditions, contend...
This article challenges the assumption that boundaries of state versus non-state and public private can readily be drawn. It argues roles actors — as or forms authority are not pre-given but forged through process governing. Drawing on neo-Gramscian governmentality perspectives, it suggests a more dynamic account offer nuanced means analysing governing global environmental affairs. In order to understand this outcomes climate change, we argue analysis should focus hegemonic projects...
Since the mid-1990s, aim of keeping climate change within 2 °C has become firmly entrenched in policy discourses. In past few years, likelihood achieving it been increasingly called into question. The debate around what to do with a target that seems less and achievable is, however, only just beginning. As UN commences two-year review target, this article moves beyond somewhat binary debates about whether or not should will be met, order analyse more fully some alternative options have...
This article takes stock of the evolution United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) through prism three recent shifts: move away from targeting industrial country emissions in a legally binding manner under Kyoto Protocol to mandating voluntary contributions all countries Paris Agreement; shift top-down architecture hybrid outcome; and broadening out mitigation focus triple goal comprising mitigation, adaptation, finance Paris. review discusses implications these...
The global nature of climate change and the globalization environmental governance have highlighted challenges enabling justice equity across diverse societies multiple levels governance.At center these are ongoing debates over distribution rights responsibilities for social impacts -e.g., to what degree developed countries responsible disasters developing adapting them?; do versus national local actors steer decision-making?; relative present future generations or human non-human...
